I stay in my room all alone in the gloom   What need I of light? Machines they can see in the night   I feel no pain metal heart and a metal brain   But something is wrong 'cause I still feel that signal coming in so      I stand at your door I guess I'll wait a moment more   Your hall light comes on and now my turn to fire upon   But I wheel away defer my plight, for another day   To dream of your face but a video screen takes its place      Hey, oh it's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you   It's true, machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you      I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am   But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child   Distrusted not rusted, that's why I feel so disgusted   But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long      Hey, it's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you   It's true machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you      It's true I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you   Hey, it's true machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you   From you, from you, from you
